Priest Healing PvP

[Treesh]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bloodlust/Heroism is something all Shamans get. Priests have to spec 31 points into Discipline to get Power Infusion, a far crappier ability than Bloodlust/Heroism, and 41 points into Discipline to get Pain Suppression.

Which can both be dispelled. Grr. :-)

So it's not shocking that many Priests say "screw that" in disgust. Oh - and the easiest way to kill a Priest is put one DPS'er on them, and one other player to dispel or purge them nonstop. This is because:

Renew
Power Word: Shield
Prayer of Mending
Pain Suppression
Blessed Resilience
Blessed Recovery
Focused Casting

Are all dispellable/purgable. These are all the instant abilities Priests actively and passively use to stay alive.

Anyhow, thanks for the info everyone on the spellsteal stuff. Seeing a Mage spellsteal Pain Suppression would be...scary.

And that's why I said that Bloodlust/heroism is better than PI. I never disputed that. I never said priests should get PI or even bother to use it. I merely gave info about bloodlust/heroism that wasn't mentioned. You complained about PI being purged or spellstolen, but didn't mention that bloodlust could too. It's about the only drawback that both skills share, with PI having more drawbacks. I'm telling ya Bolty, reroll a healy shaman. ;)=D
